Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an early onset neurodegenerative disease. Mutations in several genes cause familial FTD and one of them is charged multivesicular body protein 2B (CHMP2B) on chromosome 3 (FTD3), a component of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport III (ESCRT-III). We have generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line of a healthy individual and inserted the CHMP2B IVS5AS G-C gene mutation into one of the alleles, resulting in aberrant splicing. This human iPSC line provides an ideal model to study CHMP2B-dependent phenotypes of FTD3.
额颞叶痴呆(FTD)是一种早发性神经退行性疾病。多个基因的突变会导致家族性FTD,其中之一是位于3号染色体上的带电多囊泡体蛋白2B(CHMP2B)(FTD3),它是转运所需内体分选复合物III(ESCRT-III)的一个组成部分。我们构建了一个健康个体的诱导多能干细胞(iPSC)系,并将CHMP2B IVS5AS G-C基因突变插入其中一个等位基因,导致异常剪接。这个人iPSC系为研究FTD3的CHMP2B依赖性表型提供了一个理想模型。
